Mark Levin may be on to something.

[MegaPoke]

Worked late tonight and caught part of this on the way home. Really caught my attention. Isn't it convenient these leaks and wire taps target Trump's cabinet? Posting my thoughts in green. The rest are quotes from the linked story.

An excerpt from the show.

"This is crucially important. Everybody’s missing the point. The incredible scandal here is the Obama administration was investigating top officials in the Trump campaign, maybe even Trump himself during the course of the election!

Listen to this from the WSJ today.

‘U.S. investigators have examined contacts Attorney General Jeff Sessions had with Russian officials during the time he was advising Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, according to people familiar with the matter.’

They were investigating a sitting United States Senator who hadn’t done anything? They’re investigating a sitting Attorney General who hasn’t done anything? Based on what premise? The fact that he was advising Donald Trump? Is this not appalling and shocking to you?"

Now I know the usual suspects will say Levin is a "conservative," but he's no fan of Trump. Far more often than not, he's ripping Trump.

To me this was the crux of his piece.

"In the next segment, Levin went on to tie this Obama investigation of Sessions in with the Michael Walsh piece from a few days ago that showed how the NSA was given expanded powers by Obama to share all of this information with more agencies; and then tied it all in with the NY Times piece that exposed how the Obama administration was rushing to spread this information all over the administration before they got out."

Discuss.

Obama's justice department slush fund needs investigating.

He should go to jail over this one.

 

[HighStickHarry]

The early line was we are always listening to the Russians so it should have been common knowledge to anyone speaking to them that they would also be recorded.

 

[davidallen]

My schedule hasn't allowed a lot of media time - where is the evidence that Sessions, Flynn, et al were being investigated prior to formal investigation into Russian interference? If Obama Administration officials truly were investigating "opponents" during the campaign absent probably cause to do so then it is a huge problem. The timeline doesn't align based on what you posted though...

 

[davidallen]

Levin is so sloppy "they were investigating a sitting Attorney General" - no Sessions was not a sitting AG. Does it not occur to him that they were examining contacts made during the campaign in retrospect? Only after the formal investigation was requested?

Voluntary donations by corporations to third parties should result in BHO going to jail? Really? I get you don't like it, hell, I would even agree it isn't the best way to settle complaints, but criminal? I guess if you find evidence that these corporations were directed by a government official on who to donate to they should be accountable....

 

[AC_Exotic]

"Voluntary."

Lol!

 

[davidallen]

"Voluntary."

Lol!

Do you think for a minute these corporations wouldn't want to "expose" extortion by the Obama Administration - especially given the current climate? Has any entity backed up the allegations? Again, I haven't had time to research, if you got something share it...

 

[MegaPoke]

David's reaction automatically gives this theory credibility.

 

[Tulsaaggieson]

You pose an interesting question. It also brings into question the use of the NSA to spy on US Senators while in Russia. This should be big news if it can be supported. A good journalist would want to know more. Then you have investigations on a candidate who hasn't done anything to warrant it. This would be creepy as well. There would be some outs, like they were given information by anonyms sources to lead them to believe criminal investigations needed to take place or we were conducting surveillance on something else and came across this information. You would need to catch some people in outright lies before you can do anything with it.

 

[JimmyBob]

Hmmm. For some strange reason, the name James Rosen comes to mind.

 

[MegaPoke]

Breitbart picking it up now, for what it's worth.

Abuse of power.

 

[davidallen]

So you boys don't think the NSA should be watching the Russian Ambassador?

My thoughts:

Green was a poor color choice. Blue or Red is preferable.

 

[AC_Exotic]

So the Russian ambassador visited the Obama White House 22 times in recent years? I wonder how many hyper-critical Democratic congressmen met with him during this time?

As I said a few weeks ago, the left hyperventilating over every little thing will make their voice irrelevant and obscure. No one will be willing to listen when a serious scandal pops up. The American public might be the that point right now.

Did the Obama White House deny those visits in the midst of allegations of some nefarious connections between them and the Russians?

You have to admit that this is either the most forgetful bunch of people or they are actively trying to dodge the question and failing to do so...

Schumer was as much of a surrogate to the Clinton Campaign as Sessions was to Trump's.

Yes, the American people are at that point right now.

I am unconvinced that the Russian ambassador represents a bigger threat than any other ambassador of a sketchy nation - of which there are many. Prove to me that Russia is a problem. The Russia thing has lost all credibility at this point.

 

[MegaPoke]

You can tell by the hair plugs.

 

[MegaPoke]

Allegations... really? OK, I allege that Schumer likes goat porn. Can't produce a shred of proof on this, but trust me. It's bad.

No, of course not. the whole of the establishment empire wasn't brought to bear on their poster boy. They were able to buy and leverage influence in private without oversight or consequence, naturally.

You have lost your ever loving mind if you don't think watching the Russian Ambassador is strategically justified.

Sorry, not worth arguing.

 

[GunsOfFrankEaton]

This is a silent coup attempt by Obama put in place before he left office using abuse of power to orchestrate.

Did not say that. I said, they are no more worth watching than several other sketchy regimes in the world, yet they are singled out because of necessity - to connect Trump's campaign to Russian influence. If that fails to take hold, bad things man.... So all the eggs are in that basket and it's kind of pathetic to watch.

Russia was a relative non-story until Hillary actually lost. Then, suddenly without evidence, it's been the backbone of the establishment resistance theme. McCain, Graham, Schumer, Pelosi and so on. Now the AG is the target. Wonder why?

Pushing a false narrative for political purposes equals fake news.

The Russians are more relevant now because of the evidence of interference. Why is that so confusing/difficult to comprehend.

Serious question? Ask your congressman who likely has seen the classified version of this:

Thanks, didn't know Schumer was a Russian surrogate for that long.

trump needs to open this russian deal all the way. let the people know we are going to investigate all the way back to these uranium sales and contributions to the clinton foundation.

Agree with the sentiment... special prosecutor going back to the Uranium allegations forward to now. Great idea.

You do know that senators and government officials meet with diplomats from various countries every day depending on what committee they serve on don't you?

Obama's shadow government cronies are hoping that the American public has an ignorant understanding of the business of diplomacy between nations. As long as we remain dumb they can keep stirring things up: Straight out of his commie hero Saul Alinsky's playbook.

 

[davidallen]

You do know that senators and government officials meet with diplomats from various countries every day depending on what committee they serve on don't you?

And you do know that it is highly unusual for a foreign nation to interfere on behalf of a candidate in a US election, even more so for the team running that campaign to have frequent contact with that nation. You may be afraid of the outcome of an investigation, but there should be no doubt that the investigation is warranted.

Was Flynn a government official when meeting with the Russians? How about Jared Kushner? Mannafort? Was that part of the "diplomacy between nations" or something else?

I don't care if there is an investigation or not.

Kind of funny seeing all of this squeaking from a party and administration hat so readily and openly interfered in elections in other nations on behalf of their chosen candidate.

Obama even tried to sway the Brits in the Brexit vote. Dirty commie was just doing what dirty commies do.

Yeah, this evidence you speak of, can I see it? Or is it still in that some bureaucrats said so but we can't show you level of proof? You mentioned allegations. Is Allegations now evidence? Also, how did they interfere, exactly? Proof aside, what did they do? Propoganda? Revealing the corruption in the HRC campaign I guess? It's still so funny to me this obvious deflection from the content of those emails is the story rather than the content itself.
